You can be in Devonport with a 10 minute ferry ride across sparkling Waitemata Harbour from downtown Auckland.

Settled by Europeans in the 1840's Devonport retains a village atmosphere and makes for a relaxed morning or afternoon walk and is ideal for an easy stroll while exploring the boutiques with a stop at a café along the way.

Discover stories of Maori and European history in Devonport and meet some of the intriguing characters of this historic village as your tour guide brings the sights to life. You can stop at what interests you and spend as along or as short a time as you want at each stop. Explore the craft shops of the village or the tunnels and fortifications of North Head; hear the story behind New Zealand's first official hanging and how Ponsonby Yacht Club was gifted a valuable yachting trophy by Lord Lipton.

The views of Auckland's Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island from North Head or Mt Victoria are spectacular and ideal for a fantastic photograph for your album.
